Maiden's Balm
Robert Graves might have
created the idea that the triumvirate of Maiden-Mother-Crone has been
part of various cultures since time began, but no one can argue that
each of these characterize a particular spiritual and magical approach.
This oil, with a sweet clover center, celebrates the Maiden. Sweet clover has a
balsamic scent with a fruity, sweetgrass undertone. We chose it because there is something very Maidenly about the clover family, and at the same time, bees are absolutely devoted to
clover flowers (which makes sweet clover great for love spells). This
particular plant is associated with the goddess Nephthys, goddess of
hidden wisdom, who wove a protective garland of sweet clover that she
placed on the head of Osiris during their lovemaking. In Celtic lore,
sweet clover is a Sun herb and in other mythology is said to have
sprung from the blood of a lion, quintessential Sun
animal, slain by Hadrian; it has protective properties. The
fragrance of sweet clover is heightened with bergamot and given
leafy freshness with violet leaf, geranium leaf, and more. Consider it for
rites of initiation from childhood to maidenhood. This oil is also good for protection, love spells, calming fears, and relieving melancholy.
